Question??

[missy4gordon 0]

I have a question, I am 11 days post op. My largest incision is about 2-1/2 inches up from my belly button and is about 1-1/2 inches long. Around this incision it feels like there is something hard under there, about the size of a baseball around the incision. Is this normal??? What is it?? Will it go away??

Hi Missy,

I'm 17 days post-op. It sounds to me that the hard thing you're referring to is your port where you will have your fills put in. That's what is hard under the skin. Good luck on your weight loss.

It sounds like the port to me, too. I noticed that around 3-1/2 weeks, my port went down. Now I can only find it if I poke around. Be patient-when you go for your checkup the doctor will know if something is up!

Good Luck,

Carrie

Yeah your port is at the largest incision site, it will be somewhere in that general area,, The hardness is also due to them sewing the muscles up and causing scar tissue.......

I just had my surgery 8/30/05.. I am now really starting to love it, and feel the liquids only crap is worth it,,,,lol

Yep its the port. Mine felt really weird at first lol, but now I don't even notice it.
